If you're looking for a local group and the CCR clearly isn't active enough for you.
I've got a few handy tips for places to start looking.

Animazement's forums - On both the section here and on the official AZ site forum, meetups have been organized in the past.
Meetup.com - Uncertain, but worth a look, other anime related meetup groups exist for Durham and Raleigh and other areas.
